Who we are

The Office of Diversity and Outreach promotes academic excellence in engineering, physical sciences, and mathematics with a focus on African American, Chicano/Latino, and Native American students. The Office of Diversity and Outreach has developed pre-college, undergraduate, and graduate/faculty initiatives designed to empower students to perform academically at peak level and to increase the number of students from underrepresented populations who earn degrees in these disciplines.

Learning assessments and peer tutoring help you build on your academic strengths and improve in the areas where you are experiencing difficulties. A freshman seminar, Excellence in Engineering and Science, teaches skills and strategies that enhance college-level academic performance. Career-related programs give you the skills, hands-on experience, and networking opportunities that build a foundation for professional success.
